Japanese skatepunk/melodic punk scene never ceases to amaze, so 04 Limited Sazabys are no exception to all the good bands coming from over there.
This record contains 3 songs with English titles, but as I can hear they are sung in Japanese language. The music is more modern version of pop punk/melodic punk with a lot of tempo changes, some modern solutions in the catchy and melodic riffs and beautiful vocals coupled with some atmospheric parts. Of three songs being Puzzle, Montage and Cycle, I would say Cycle somehow got to me the most and I liked that song the most of the three. This is a great little record for all the fans of pop punk melodic and flying all over the place.

About The Corps:
As darkness slithered unnoticed into 2814 posing as music, few were aware of the ever dimming light. But there were four souls who saw through the lies. The gods they had served for years, still on the battle field, will someday relent with pride and pass down the torch. These four will charge their rings and make a stand until the deaf hear the light.
Skate-punk veterans Laughing In The Face Of excel in tight melodic hardcore, riddled with hooks, riffs and head-banging breaks. This is fun, fast punk with rock and metal influences, played by four broke dudes who just love doing it for the hell of it.
‘Running With Coffee’ is the band’s first video single since 2011. It’s an anxious, sarcastic and fun shredder of a tune, showcasing some of LITFO’s adrenaline-drenched race to rush through life.
Formed in the summer of 2009, Laughing The Face of have undergone a number of line-up changes but have stuck with Lockjaw Records since their debut album ‘Lubrication of Social Anxiety’, released in 2011. This CD has been greatly received by many – fans and critics alike – and has become a bit of a must-have amongst fans of the genre.
“[Running With Coffee’ is] about rushing through life, trying to fit everything in and not necessarily looking after yourself enough in the process,” say frontman Steve Lowry. “Feeling run-down yet pushing on, fuelled on caffeine and what can often seem like a constant manic rush which ultimately wears you down. Daily routines, minimal sleep and then finally things you enjoy in the remainder of time.
It’s one of maybe a few songs on this album that I think, behind the main subject, have an underlying theme of being very aware of how quick time flies. It’s also taking the piss out of the very idea that these kind of issues could even be considered as real problems. Bullshit comes in many different flavours, but you have to sing about what’s real to you and what bothers you, or some cases keeps you going.”
Keep your eyes peeled for new singles and an exiting new release from Laughing In The Face Of in the coming months.
